The latest episode of Heated Rivalry shifted focus to characters Scott Hunter and Kip Grady, who are older than the show’s main leads. With the romance between characters becoming a hot topic, fans are now discussing how old the hockey players actually are.
Here’s everything you need to know about the episode count of the show’s upcoming season.
An advertisement featuring Sydney Sweeney from July 2025 caused confusion because she playfully mixed up the words ‘genes’ and ‘jeans.’ Some viewers thought the ad suggested she was attractive due to her genetics – like her hair and eye color – and that she was linking attractiveness to the clothes she wore. In the ad, she stated, “My jeans are blue,” after explaining that genes determine traits inherited from parents. Sweeney avoided addressing the controversy while promoting her films Christy and Americana. However, in a November GQ interview, she clarified she simply enjoys wearing jeans and that was the extent of the ad’s message. She explained she wasn’t bothered by the backlash, stating, “I knew what that ad was for, and it was great jeans.” She added that she only speaks out on issues she feels strongly about, and this wasn’t one of them.
Hiroshi Harada first gained recognition for his work as the storyboard artist behind the intense film, Midori: The Girl in the Freak Show. His 1985 film, The Death Lullaby, marked his major debut, made when he was only 20 years old. The film centers on a character named Deppa (meaning “buck tooth”) and explores his descent into despair amidst growing social chaos and a breakdown of order. The Death Lullaby is a remarkably complex and ambitious anime, but at its heart, it’s a deeply affecting story that rivals some of the most emotionally powerful and frightening works in the medium. It manages to be as terrifying as Perfect Blue and as emotionally honest as Barefoot Gen, a rare feat for an anime horror film.
News that Scarlett Johansson is in talks to join The Batman Part II eased some worries about Zoë Kravitz potentially leaving the series. Fans immediately began speculating about which villains director Matt Reeves might feature and which roles Johansson would be perfect for. While rumors suggest she’ll play a new love interest for Bruce Wayne, the strong connection between Kravitz and Robert Pattinson in The Batman was a key reason Kravitz was cast as Catwoman. If Kravitz doesn’t appear in the second film but returns for a potential third – which could be several years away, considering the delays in getting The Batman Part II started – that gap would be significant. Luckily, DC has already created a way to keep Catwoman a relevant character and fans engaged, even if they don’t fully recognize it.
With a worldwide gross of $868.9 million, Rebirth is the fourth highest-grossing film of the year, demonstrating the continued success of the Jurassic series. Wicked: For Good also launched strongly, earning $393.3 million globally. Collectively, films directed by Bailey have generated $1.2 billion, and that total is expected to rise as Wicked 2 remains in cinemas.
Just before the screening started, the director of Avatar, who is also an ocean explorer, spoke about how important it is to see movies in a cinema, especially in Paris, a city that really values this experience. According to Variety, Cameron said France has more movie lovers per person than any other country, and supporting the arts feels like a duty there. It makes you wonder if he’ll encourage American movie fans to feel the same sense of community and appreciation when they go to the movies together when he returns home.
Marvel and DC are the two biggest names in comics and superheroes, so it’s natural they sometimes team up and create crossover events that fans enjoy. Recent crossovers have been very popular, and it looks like more are coming – something fans clearly want to see.
The claims came from two of Diddy’s longtime friends, Tim Patterson and Kirk Burrows. Patterson stated that Janice Combs was physically abusive towards her son and insisted it was serious. Burrows added that he saw Sean Combs slap Janice after a celebrity basketball game in 1991. Janice responded with a statement released on December 6th, strongly denying the accusations and saying she never abused her stepson.
Back in December 2025, Deadline announced that the new Prime Video series had been renewed for two seasons. This is exciting and allows for a lot of storytelling possibilities, but it also leaves me with some urgent questions.
